okay, I put my sight up for review the other day:
Domain of the Cybereaper once you get past allthat intro crud to the main page:
I got lots o suggestions, 1 was for smoother transitions… so I am trying…
my mc architecture on the main swf is:
*_root.main_mc.empty_mc * [the ‘container’ for loading external swfs]
Using the kirupa tutorial (and I searched the forums to find an answer, but so many and nuthin seemed 2 fit)- In each external swf, frame 1 reads:
midframe=##;
the midframe simply reads:
stop();
the final frame reads:
_root.main_mc.empty2.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf");
Then in the main movie clip, frame 1 reads:
_root.currMovie = "reaperhome";
container.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf");
then, the architecture for the buttons is:
_root.main_mc.button_mc
Each button has the following code or similar code for different mc’s:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "theories";
_root.main_mc.empty.loadMovie("theories.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "theories") {
if (_root.main_mc.empty._currentframe >= _root.main_mc.empty.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "theories";
_root.main_mc.empty.play();
}
}
}
on(release) {
gotoAndStop(5);
}
The above code, according to the tutorial should examine the mc loaded, and decide if it needs to load and/or unload. And, it is kinda doing this/kinda not. If you go to my web site you will see the exact problems I am discussing.
It appears as if it is loading and reloading swf’s on top of each other…
The gotoandStop command changes the frame within the *button_mc * to allow me to highlight the currently selected button and topic.
I can’t upload the code right now, file is too big and I am too tired for winzip. Hopefully I have listed enough info, if u think the code would allow u to solve it, let me now, I’ll compress it all and send it. Thanks in advanced for the help.
